Arthur is the executive director and founder of Life Goes On Foundation (LGO) a nonpolitical/nonprofit organization working in the Bay Area to help bring an end to gun violence amongst youth. Arthur founded LGO in 2007 after he was shot point blank outside of a San Francisco night club by an unknown assailant, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.〔http://www.ktvu.com/news/19144731/detail.html〕 The shooter took $20 from Arthur and a $15 tin chain.

In recognition of his work, Arthur was named a Home Town hero by the Bay Area News Group for the summer of 2009 and also received a citation of appreciation from the Oakland Mayoral Council Against Violence that same year. Additionally, Arthur has interviewed with over 50 different media outlets where he discussed his role in ending gun violence. Arthur has also presented his ‘story’ to over 130 high schools and
middle schools, as well as juvenile halls, disciplinary camps, Boys & Girls Club(s), YMCA, Oakland City Hall, churches and many hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. It is estimated that Arthur has addressed over 100,000 youth on the dangers of gun violence and how they must have the strength to be good citizens and find positive ways to overcome their life obstacles. As Arthur often says “If I can get one kid, just one, to hear my story about how senseless gun violence damaged me but how I overcame this life obstacle with no remorse or need for revenge – and that kid decides to play sports, volunteer or anything besides picking up a gun, I HAVE DONE MY JOB!”
